Yeah, that Saved by Zero ad from Toyota? Well, if you hate the ad (and most Americans do), you'd be pleased to see this Ring spoof. Also, for anyone really into the movement, you can sign this petition to get Toyota to remove the ads.

Another Pitchfork.TV special worth mentioning here - The Black Keys (White Stripes with two girls and less kitsch) on Daytripping. Watch them drink, say stuff, and go to a .. GZA ... show at the SoCo experience in Wisconsin.

J.J. Abrams newest movie, the highly anticpated Star Trek, has released its first official trailer today (My mistake,it was leaked.) If its anything like Cloverfield, we should all be getting a collective movie hard-on now.

I'm sorry, that may have gone too far for some people, but for the most of us (grow up, everyone else) it's completely accurate and appropriate.

I'm not a Star Trek fan (Star Wars for me, even the shitty ones) but anything that Abrams touches usually turns to some terrifically scary gold.

Austin Texas garage punk band Riverboat Gamblers (Myspace) have released their new single, "A Sloppy, Yet Sincere Apology," for free on their website. Their new album, Underneath the Owl, is due out March of next year via Warner Bros. Independent Label Group.

The band, known for their mondo-fuck of a great live show, are SXSW regulars and have a terrific cult following. I hope getting sent this stuff means more from them in the future, because i'd be more than pleased to be able to see these guys for myself.
